Hello,

I am having an issue where I (even as admin) cannot edit my/any posts. When I click on the edit button (or Forum Toolset) - the page jumps to the bottom of the post, but I'm not getting any text area for editing. I tried it on multiple browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and it's not working on any of them.

I originally thought maybe this was due to the jquery issue - http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/ - but it's coming from my domain so I don't think it's that.

Thanks!

Phyllis

Link to the forum? We can at least double check the loading and look for js errors?

Actually it seems to loading smoothly but there are several things not working - not just edit - like pinning a topic or post for example. These are not reliant on javascript but good old fashioned html POST processing.

Could we start by you asking your host if they have mod_security imposed on your site and if so ask if this could be effecting the procesing of POST variables?

Hi - our host says:

We are not running mod_security, I checked. However I did see many recurring error messages in the apache log referring to this project. They are attached, perhaps they will be helpful in the forums to diagnose the problem.

I will send this file to you via PM

99% of these are 'notices'. They are a harmless nuisance and I would bet that it probably comes down to just 2 or 3 that are repeating over and over. I will come back to those in a moment.

There are a small group of 'warnings' - which are more worrying - pertaining to the 'Cimy_User_Extra_Fields' plugin but I believe - at least there is a suggestion in the php log - that this is when it called FROM the forum page. Would that be to register as a user? I am not totally sure what this plugin does or when and how it is invoked.

There are no actual 'fatal' errors in that list - nothing, I believe, that would stop things actually working.

But it does give me an idea - although a long shot - so back to the Notices.

Can you go If possible on a different browser tab) to the forum admin > toolbox > error log. Ignore anything that is there - just scroll down and clear the log. Go back to the forum and try an edit. after the page reloads, back to the error log to see what was reported.

OK - 'Cimy_User_Extra_Fields' plugin is for gathering additional fields from the user upon registration. It does handle the email confirmation but that's really it.

I followed your instructions and this is what I get:

Oh well. Nothing significant to the edit problem itself but more evidence that something in your environment is stifling processing...

So - back to edits as a good example. There is something installed - either a server setting or maybe another Wp plugin of some sort - that is either destroying or inhibiting the use of the POST variables from forms. It may be some sort of over-zealous security module of some sort - which is why I asked about mod_security which can have this effect.

So I guess it's plugins next. Can you tell me what WP plugins you have active?

Could it be something w/ PHP? What's the PHP version system requirement for Simple Press?

Here's what I have for plugins on WP & SP
